The Marseillaise is the call to arms for battle and revolution. The Star Spangled Banner is an ode to American stoicism when faced by the British Army. Both speak to soldiers and volunteers and the nation state. Our anthem is an anachronism and talks to hereditary position, establishment and...
It is the PL. And there lies the dichotomy between financial/revenue generation and sporting competition/integrity. The PL wants the cash AND the competition without f***ing off its biggest sides.
Man City (allegedly) manipulated the rules to become its biggest side and therefore have severely...
That's exactly what Clearlake want to do. They offer total value contracts over a long period. It's a hedge model for the player and their advisors. Caicedo got an increase over his Brighton package (but nowhere near as inflated as some suggested) - but the attraction will have been e.g. £100k a...

Player wanted to go. Sad but understandable (Napoli/Conte/historically huge club/BHAFC competition)

PS. Hope he gets a hat trick against the ARSE.
Sorry, don't get it. O'Reilly has scored 35 goals in a 150 odd pro appearances; WBG has not scored a professional goal in league football. They're different players.
